Oct 12, 2007 btl. poured mahogany brown with amber hue. has aroma of dark sugar, and hint of bourbon. has a syruppy dark caramel sweetness which is balanced by an astringent bourbon and oak bitterness. hops are there but masked by the malt. finishes smooth and silky.

Oct 9, 2007 Aroma is a sweet malt scent with back tones of vanilla. Color is a brown amber with low carbonation and a nice tight head. Taste is wow. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a rich feel. Finish is a bold caramel, bourbon and vanilla flavor backed by a faint bitterness. This is an amazing tasting beer.

Oct 7, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a smallish tan head. Aroma is caramel with a little bourbon and a touch of vanilla. Very sweet, not a whole lot to balance it. Seemed slightly watery. Solid and slightly different brown.

Sep 27, 2007 Mkay. A bourbon brown ale actually went rather well with the greek food. Pretty standard for a brown with just enough oak poking through to make it interesting.

Sep 26, 2007 Not the biggest fan of strong bourbon tasting beer, but this was good. Definately not an overpowering bourbon flavor a good brown ale.

Sep 24, 2007 12oz bottle. thanks to xnoxhatex for this one. pours dark ruby with off white head. nose is caramelly with nice hints of oak and bourbon. flavor is initially a bit astringent but the flavor pulls through and delievers a nice bourbon, charred, caramelly profile w/ some dark fruits. mouth feel a tad thin and carbonation felt fizzy. a big flavor that you’d expect in your imperial beers but I couldn’t help but wish for this to just be a bigger beer. i think some alcohol warmth and big hop profile would work nicely. probably be a lot like old viscosity actually. the problem is is that this isn’t really sessionable and that’s what I want in a brown ale and if i want something with this complex roast/chocolate/bourbon flavor i’d usually reach for a bigger beer. perhaps this is a great beer if you want a bigger flavor without the alcohol. however, i usually don’t want that second part.
